I waved at a C6 today, turned his head so he saw my hand above my windshield. And nothing, he must be too cool (sunglasses, overcast) to wave at a lowly C4. I gave him another wave.

Most people who buy a vette do not know about the wave, dont take it personally.

Oh yeah, that will get the C6 people to notice the C4.

Took my 90 Quasar blue coupe out for a ride with my sweetie pie today and got a great wave from a C5 AND A C6. My wife laughs everytime we wave at each other. She thinks it is funny. Hey, what does she know? Allentown Ernie.

Went to the post office today and as I'm getting ready to turn in the drive I see a C5 coming in the other direction so I waited and let him go ahead of me gave him a wave...not only did he not wave back he didn't even nod for letting him go ahead of me. Take it with a grain of salt..as we know some people love vettes and some people just drive them.

They don't wave back because they never saw you. They are too interested in looking at themselves in their rearview mirror.

When I don't get a wave back I figure it's because of one of three reasons:
1) didn't see me - hey I sometimes miss another Vette too
2) is ignorant - in which case he/she will eventually get it
3) is an azz-hole - no cure there, ignore the p--ck

I enjoy waveing to other Vette drivers, even when they don't wave back...

Oh, one like this....there was a guy in a C6 that saw a C4 and waved. The guy in the C4 was so surprised that he ran into the back of the car ahead of him.

Dude don't take offence because he didn't wave. His bald head and gold chain were blinding him.

I missed a fellow C4er the other day. Felt bad, but with traffic around here, it's to be expected.

Lets me guess, a guy in his mid 50s, well dressed, expensive sun glasses and looking for attention from a female. Its just a leasee in a mid life crisis. He will be back in his Lexus in two years.

A C6 waved to me on Saturday, and he initiated it. I waved back even though I was a little stunned. There might be hope yet.
